~ Jacob Returns to Isaac ~

Jacob had twelve sons:
The Sons of Leah:
Reuben the first born of Jacob,
Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar and Zebulun.
The sons of Rachel:
Joseph and Benjamin.
The sons of Rachel's maidservant Bilhah:
Dan and Naphtali.
The sons of Leah's maidservant Zilpah:
Gad and Asher.
There were the sons born of Jacob,
who were born to him in Paddan Aram.

Jacob came home to his father Isaac in Mamre,
near Kiriath Arba (that is, Hebron),
where Abraham and Isaac had stayed.
Isaac lived a hundred and eighty years.
Then he breathed his last and died
and was gathered to his people,
old and full of years.
And his sons Esau and Jacob buried him.

(Genesis 36:23-29)
